Um....Frequently Asked Questions.

 

QUESTION:

Were your high performance con-rods made in a sweat shop in a 3rd world country?

ANSWER:

Yeah right. This project has been in development for many years. We have searched Earth, Mars and Pluto for the best con-rod manufacturer available.

 

QUESTION:

But your con-rods are cheaper than the others. That would mean they can not be as good as the others?

ANSWER:

We have purchased a large quantity of rods to keep the price low. (You're welcome.)
We are so confident in our quality, that we will donate a con-rod to any nay-sayer who has the ability to stress test, or any test they see fit.
